You and I are hard wired and you and I have hard wiring; one we were born with and one we've built. We oftentimes confuse the two. We are hard wired for survival, fear response, and other things evolution has given us upon birth. We didn't have to work for it; it came as a … Continue reading Build better…

My cousin, Ira Oscar III, is no longer with us. He left us way too early. 55 years is all he was given. You and I don't come with a known built in expiration date. We have no idea. We live as if we'll live forever. We. Will. Not.  We are but a mist. A … Continue reading Carpe diem…

Years ago I read the Heath Brothers book Made to Stick. It was a gem filled with little nuggets, one of which they called the curse of knowledge - once we know something, we forget what it was like when we didn’t. The curse is around communicating with those who know less than you.  Masters suffer from … Continue reading Curse…
